Pray for us all; pray for us all
Pray for us all; pray for us all
Pray for us all; pray for us all
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
I guess I'll stay; I'm just a fossil
The time for penance met its end
The hour for rending foe and friend
I guess I'll stay; I'm just a fossil
The time for penance met its end
The hour for rending foe and friend
They're only blood and bone
It's all they'll ever know
The time for penance met its end
The hour for rending foe and friend
Dead man run; take him to the owls
Begging for his chance to fly
Dead man run
Begging for a savior that will never come
Pray for us all; pray for us all
Pray for us all; pray for us all

Apocrypha

I'm just bones; put me in the ground
Frozen soil insulating all around
The depths of my retreat
The depths of your deceit
Six feet isn't deep enough
Six feet can't come soon enough
I guess I'll stay; I'm just a fossil
Left behind to dry in the wake
Of your better side's annihilation
Create your fucking gospel
Carved from the darkest shades of clay
I am the blade on which you flayed your broken psyche
I guess I'll stay; I'm just a fossil
Left behind to dry in the wake
Of your better side's annihilation
Create your fucking gospel
Carved from the darkest shades of clay
I am the blade on which you flayed your broken psyche
Wait
Wait
Wait
Don't shed a shred of decency
Lest you lower your guard, admit defeat
Look them in the eye and see
Your lot of deeds diminished
You want to taste my torment?
I hope that it was worth it
I hope that it was worth it
You want to taste my torment?
I hope that it was worth it
I hope that it was worth it
You want to taste my torment?
I hope that it was worth it
I hope that it was worth it
I guess I'll stay; I'm just a fossil
Left behind to dry in the wake
Of your better side's annihilation
Create your fucking gospel
Carved from the darkest shades of clay
I am the blade on which you flayed your broken psyche
I guess I'll stay; I'm just a fossil
Left behind to dry in the wake
Of your better side's annihilation
Create your fucking gospel
Carved from the darkest shades of clay
I am the blade on which you flayed your broken psyche

Stoic Sunset

My mind is pure loss
Waiting for its chance to claim its place
Deep inside
A constant whisper, familiar aches
Still beating, but barely keeping pace
I need your poison, so keen your blade
Penetrate this weak substrate
Far from the light, fragile and desperate
Shooting blanks in a constant roulette
Cold and red, watching sunlight softly drift away
watching sunlight softly drift away
Cold and red, watching sunlight softly drift away
Wavering patience and waning grace
Standing stoic as my body starts to shake
Trapped in a prison, the key misplaced
Help me forget my only escape
Far from the light, fragile and desperate
Shooting blanks in a constant roulette
Cold and red, watching sunlight softly drift away
watching sunlight softly drift away
Cold and red, watching sunlight softly drift away
Shooting blanks, cold and red
watching sunlight softly drift away
My mind is pure loss
waiting for its chance to claim its place
deep inside
Trapped in a prison, the key misplaced
Help me forget my only escape
Far from the light, fragile and desperate
Shooting blanks in a constant roulette
Cold and red, watching sunlight softly drift away
Cold and red, watching sunlight softly drift away
Cold and red, watching sunlight softly drift away

I am vagrant, making vacant vessels trade their sand for payment
Ageless agent, waiting patiently for every grain to fall
But if you don't like it, you can call my name
I'll let you carry on believing these are better odds
Pointing jaded fingers to an absent sky
Just see the same old hands on different clocks
There's no use praying
Know your words can't spur the musings of a lesser god
I am bravely waiting for these vessels to repent for dissent
Caustic agent waiting gracious payment in pursuit of demigods
But if you don't like it, you can call my name
I'll let you carry on believing these are better odds
Pointing jaded fingers to an absent sky
Just see the same old hands on different clocks
There's no use praying
Know your words can't spur the musings of a lesser god
I'll be the cause, a gracious facade, bring to me your flaws
Your remnant thoughts, a frantic pause, and all you wish it was
I'll be the flaw, a gracious facade, bring to me your cause
Your remnant thoughts, a frantic pause, and all you wish it was
All you wish it was
All you wish it was
But if you don't like it, you can call my name
I'll let you carry on believing these are better odds
Pointing jaded fingers to an absent sky
Just see the same old hands on different clocks
There's no use praying
Know your words can't spur the musings of a lesser god

Scenes from a Harvest
04:52

The time for penance met its end
The hour for rending foe and friend
When they come, take heed
Their hungry steeds shall feast on vengeance
I'll be the call, clawing the walls
Waiting for you to water the Earth
It's not a loss, you matter not
Open up your veins
(Masquerading for the taking)
(You pressed your lips with brackish intentions)
(I pressed my luck without hope of repentance)
Take the embers carried in the wind
A star awaiting its eclipse
Scorch the Earth; rebirth begins
Apocalyptic fingertips
Take the banner blowing in the wind
A sacred burning fellowship
Ravage the Earth; famine begins
Apocalyptic pestilence
(Dead man run, take him to the owls)
(Lock me in and scratch to the bone)
Scratch to the bone
Scratch to the bone
Scratch to the bone
Sarcophagal screams
A kiss with cold lips
A monument to frantic shifts
A tide that cleanses all that grips
They come with bladed sons
To cut the tongues from failing fathers
Run, dead man, run on the back of your eleventh hour
The skies are emptied
Hence, it's best ye hasten toward the end
I'll be the call, clawing the walls
Waiting for you to water the Earth
It's not a loss, you matter not
Open up your veins
(Masquerading for the taking)
(You pressed your lips with brackish intentions)
(I pressed my luck without hope of repentance)
Take the embers carried in the wind
A star awaiting its eclipse
Scorch the Earth; rebirth begins
Apocalyptic fingertips
Take the banner blowing in the wind
A sacred burning fellowship
Ravage the Earth; famine begins
Apocalyptic pestilence
(Dead man run, take him to the owls)
(Lock me in and scratch to the bone)
Scratch to the bone
Scratch to the bone
Scratch to the bone
Dead man run, take him to the owls
Lock me in and scratch to the bone
Dead man run
Begging for a savior that will never come
Waiting for his chance to fly
Take him to the owls
Lock me in and scratch to the bone
Take the embers carried in the wind
A star awaiting its eclipse
Scorch the Earth; rebirth begins
Apocalyptic fingertips
Take the banner blowing in the wind
A sacred burning fellowship
Ravage the Earth; famine begins
Apocalyptic pestilence
Dead man run
Dead man run

Burn, burn
As your tinder spreads their ash across the sky
They'll know your name but not the face
Of the precarious balancing act of
Anywhere but here and anytime but now
They're only blood and bone
Reaper in wait, calculate the ever-designating
Which way the red wheel will turn
It's all they'll ever know
Keeper of fate, penetrate
The eyes are the way to designate
Which of the bridges will burn
In turn
They will use your goals to warm their hands
And fatten their ever-growing plates
Once more, twice more
With the clothes on their back
You whisper wrongs as rights
So they can follow along
Give them a taste of free
I know they'll sleep much better
With a lesser hill to die on
Feel free to persevere; I'll just omit the how
They're only blood and bone
Reaper in wait, calculate the ever-designating
Which way the red wheel will turn
It's all they'll ever know
Keeper of fate, penetrate
The eyes are the way to designate
Which of the bridges will burn
Burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
You etched your pretty psalms in red
And made them sing along
Without a single slice of bread
There standing millions strong
You etched your pretty psalms in red
And made them sing along
Without a single slice of bread
There standing millions strong
Caught selling warmth without a thread
The cloth-less will always be
Unwilling victims in an ill-begotten symphony
You write your siren song
Lure them in and drop your bombs
Sing it loud; they don't belong.
Unaware, but proud
I hear it calling from a distant dream
Swinging your arms to make the beat
Keep them in bars; Sure defeat
Now the time has come to ruin their lives with precision
Mince and repeat fill the streets
Redden the old balance sheet
The melody is complete
Drop your bombs and write your songs
Sing it loud; they don't belong

Brace for impact, welcoming the crash
Illuminated, suffocating ash
Mask seller, fate bearer
Mask seller, fate bearer
Wrestling and wandering
Trending toward the mother sun
A picture perfect puppeteer
All our efforts come undone
A face to frown upon the crowd
that mocks the first and spares remorse
A missing hint, a show of force
Paralysis, analysis, paralysis
Mask seller, fate bearer
Mask seller, fate bearer
Wrestling and wandering
Trending toward the mother sun
A picture perfect puppeteer
All our efforts come undone
Tympanic needle, optic evil
Tympanic needle, optic evil
Here lies my self
See through thy self
Here lies my self
See through thy self
Tell me who I'm to hate
Then tell me how long to wait
Let them cry and let them beg
This dish is meant for other plates
Tell me who I'm to hate
Then tell them how long to wait
Let them cry and let them beg
This dish is meant for other plates
Tell me who I'm to hate
Then tell me how long to wait
Let them cry and let them beg
This dish is meant for other plates

Drowning In Plain Sight

Tide draws in on me; evacuating plea
A serenading sea creeping fearlessly
Can't hold my breath with mouth wide open
Taking in water, losing hope in drier clothing
I'm still floating
Treading, sinking, shallow breathing
Can't hold my breath with mouth wide open
Taking in water, losing hope in drier clothing
I'm still floating
Treading, sinking, shallow breathing
Losing my faith in higher meaning
Screaming my name was all I needed
Praying, pleading, desperate reaching
Silent screaming, water chilling
Feeling justified sounds easy
when it's not your lungs filling
Face down in thought, feeling forgotten
Lines that I've crossed, pleading for penance
Face down in thought, feeling forgotten
Lines that I've crossed, pleading for patience
Can't hold my breath with mouth wide open
Taking in water, losing hope in drier clothing
I'm still floating
Treading, sinking, shallow breathing
Losing my faith in higher meaning
Screaming my name was all I needed
Praying, pleading, desperate reaching
Silent screaming, water chilling
Feeling justified sounds easy
when it's not your lungs filling
Can't hold my breath with mouth wide open
Taking in water, losing hope in drier clothing
I'm still floating
Treading, sinking, shallow breathing
Treading, sinking, shallow breathing
Can't hold my breath with mouth wide open
Taking in water, losing hope in drier clothing
I'm still floating
Treading, sinking, shallow breathing
Losing my faith in higher meaning
Screaming my name was all I needed
Praying, pleading, desperate reaching
Silent screaming, water chilling
Let the water take me away to a better place
where my soul meets the ground
and gives up holding on to air filled lungs

Breathe deep
Running out purposefully
Carry me when I've spent all of that's left
We sing to the night sky
Just as far from the dark and light
Such a vicious spark has leapt
And rendered its mark
Now I'm left here in need of a
Strong wind to set me free
I've lost the will, the lock, and key
A triplicity of duplicity
Superficial affinity is all that I have left tonight
I never close my eyes when it flashes
Burn the flesh off me as a blessing
Take my hand and leave me guessing
My brightest light, gratefully mine
I'll let you shine
Losing sleep
Take the line long past empty
Carrying a weight that's unseen
All that's left of me
We've danced with falling stars
Now just fingers outstretched in the dark
Just a stem; the bark was stripped
Now I'm left here in need of
One last flash to set me free
The bill is due, the fee is me
The simplicity of electricity
Light me up
I'll give you all that's left of me
All that's left of me lost in the fray
All that's left of me, me, me
All that is left of me lost in the fray
All that's left of me is rot and decay
Is all that I have left tonight
I never close my eyes when it flashes
Burn the flesh off me as a blessing
Take my hand and leave me guessing
My brightest light, gratefully mine
I'll let you shine
We sing to the night sky
Just as far from the dark and light
Such a vicious spark has leapt
And rendered its mark
Now I'm left here waiting
We sing to the night sky
Just as far from the dark and light
Such a vicious spark has leapt
And rendered its mark
Now I'm left here waiting
We sing to the night sky
Just as far from the dark and light
Such a vicious spark has leapt
And rendered its mark
Now I'm left here waiting
We sing to the night sky
Just as far from the dark and light
Such a vicious spark has leapt
And rendered its mark
Now I'm left here waiting

Witness

You've seen miracles and visions from on high
But have you ever watched a body burn from the inside
Ashes overflow, but the channel runneth dry
Waiting for a sign from a dead end sky
A change of heart, about-face
Altering for your benefit
As those you shame take on the blame
Of all your insecurities
Watch me as I bathe in flame
Reborn as all you've come to hate
Witnessing the reckoning
Light a votive flame
Blessed be those silenced screams
Martyrs caught in suffering
Pray for us all
Prey on the small
Shunning those your saints welcome with open hands
Make them understand, make them fly a foreign flag
Pray for us all, those who wear the brand
Begging for their right to be undamned
A crooked heart, a pretty face
Smiling while they desecrate
Those in flames, their social chains
Reminding them to know their place
Watch me as I bathe in flame
Reborn as all you've come to hate
Witnessing the reckoning
Light a votive flame
Blessed be those silenced screams
Martyrs caught in suffering
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Just fucking bury me, blood on your own hands
Crucify this pagan saint according to your plan
Fucking look at me, stare me in the eye
As I stain the ground around you, your god weeps and cries
Why can't you understand? If he had a plan
I'd not be left here drowning in the tides of man
This body has a voice, a soul that longs for land
Let me feel the dirt before you bury me in the sand
Watch me as I bathe in flame
Just fucking bury me, bury me, bury all your hate
Pain, dancing in the flame
Blessed be those silenced screams
Martyrs caught in suffering
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
Pray for us all; Prey on the small
